PERTH’s largest coastal development for more than 50 years has been launched in the Alkimos Eglinton area.

Peet Ltd has unveiled its $1.3 billion Alkimos development, about 40 kilometres north of the CBD. The land mooted for the development abuts another major block which the West Australian government is seeking to develop with a partner.

Combined, about 953 hectares of Perth’s famous coastline will be affected. LandCorp, Delfin Lend Lease, Mirvac and a consortium including Perth based developer Satterley Property Group, are reportedly shortlisted on the government tender to build more housing.
